Hunter Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Has anyone heard of the Aldine Method by Catherine Bryce and Frank Spaulding? http://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Catherine+Turner+Bryce%22 I think I found the whole program except for the reading books for 7 and 8 and the reading TMs for 3-8. I think I found all the spelling and comp/grammar books, including teacher's manuals. The spelling is based on Ayers and other studies. The first few grade 1 lessons seemed to be linked to the primer, but after that I don't think there is any attempt to integrate the lessons. There are dramatic readers just like the modern "Reader's Theater" method. Edited June 15, 2012 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 I can't find a REAL 4th reader either. Somehow the content of reader 4 is the same as reader 5 :-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Book 3 doesn't seem to have any vocabulary or teacher's helps or anything :-0 Books 5 and 6 have the TM in the back, and include vocabulary and nice comprehension questions. The poems are particularly interesting. One of the books--I forget which one--has a dramatic reading piece for Dickens's Christmas Carol. Unless someone hunts down some more reading books, I guess I'll be using primer-2 quite heavily along with McGuffey, and then 5-6 for the poetry and dramatic readings only. The spelling is the most interesting to me, and I'm still giving that a thorough inspection. Edited June 15, 2012 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
